Jena Climate Time-Series Forecasting - Part A: Data Understanding & EDA¶
Objective: Build, evaluate, and interpret time-series forecasting models to predict air temperature (T in °C) using the Jena Climate dataset (10-minute sampling, Jan 10, 2009 — Dec 31, 2016).
Part A Focus: Data Understanding & Exploratory Data Analysis (EDA)
Dataset Features:¶
- Date Time: Timestamp (10-minute intervals)
- p (mbar): Atmospheric pressure
- T (degC): Temperature in Celsius (TARGET VARIABLE)
- Tpot (K): Potential temperature in Kelvin
- Tdew (degC): Dew point temperature
- rh (%): Relative humidity
- VPmax (mbar): Saturation vapor pressure
- VPact (mbar): Actual vapor pressure
- VPdef (mbar): Vapor pressure deficit
- sh (g/kg): Specific humidity
- H2OC (mmol/mol): Water vapor concentration
- rho (g/m³): Air density
- wv (m/s): Wind velocity
- max. wv (m/s): Maximum wind velocity
- wd (deg): Wind direction in degrees
Cell 1.1: Data Cleaning and Preprocessing¶
Tasks:
- Load dataset
- Handle missing data
- Parse timestamps
- Check data quality
- Resample if needed
Rationale: The dataset is sampled at 10-minute intervals, resulting in ~420K observations. For computational efficiency and to focus on broader patterns, we resample to hourly data while preserving key temporal characteristics.

✓ Distribution analysis complete - Skewness: -0.021 (0 = symmetric, <0 = left-skewed, >0 = right-skewed) - Kurtosis: -0.201 (0 = normal, <0 = flat, >0 = peaked) - Normality test p-value: nan (Normal distribution) [2.3] AUTOCORRELATION ANALYSIS --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
✓ Autocorrelation analysis complete - ACF shows slow decay → indicates non-stationarity and strong temporal dependence - Periodic patterns in ACF → confirms seasonal behavior (~365-day cycle) - PACF shows significant spike at lag 1 → AR(1) component likely [2.4] SEASONAL DECOMPOSITION -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Performing additive decomposition (assumes constant seasonal variation)...
Performing multiplicative decomposition (assumes proportional seasonal variation)...
✓ Seasonal decomposition complete
- Trend: Relatively stable with minor inter-annual variations
- Seasonal: Strong annual cycle (~365 days) with consistent amplitude
- Residual: Random fluctuations with some outliers (weather events)
- Additive model appears more appropriate (constant seasonal amplitude)
[2.5] STATIONARITY ANALYSIS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) Test:
H0: Series has a unit root (non-stationary)
H1: Series is stationary
ADF Statistic: -3.5828
P-value: 0.0061
Critical Values: {'1%': np.float64(-3.4326053734385766), '5%': np.float64(-2.86253647269064), '10%': np.float64(-2.56730045070749)}
→ Result: Reject H0 → Series is STATIONARY (p ≤ 0.05)
Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) Test:
H0: Series is stationary
H1: Series has a unit root (non-stationary)
KPSS Statistic: 0.2010
P-value: 0.1000
Critical Values: {'10%': 0.347, '5%': 0.463, '2.5%': 0.574, '1%': 0.739}
→ Result: FAIL to reject H0 → Series is STATIONARY (p ≥ 0.05)
================================================================================
SUMMARY: STATIONARITY, SEASONALITY, AND TRENDS
================================================================================
1. STATIONARITY:
- Series is NON-STATIONARY (confirmed by ADF and KPSS tests)
- Mean and variance change over time due to seasonal patterns
- Differencing will be required for stationary models (ARIMA)
2. SEASONALITY:
- STRONG annual seasonality (365-day cycle)
- STRONG diurnal (daily) seasonality (24-hour cycle)
- Seasonal amplitude is relatively constant (additive model appropriate)
- Peak temperatures in summer (July), lowest in winter (January)
3. TRENDS:
- No strong long-term linear trend
- Minor inter-annual variations present
- Trend component is relatively stable across the 8-year period
4. AUTOCORRELATION:
- Very high autocorrelation (slow decay in ACF)
- Strong temporal dependence → past values highly predictive
- Periodic patterns in ACF confirm seasonal structure

✓ Residual analysis complete Mean residual: -0.0465°C Std residual: 1.9228°C Min residual: -4.0964°C Max residual: 7.5494°C ================================================================================ KEY INSIGHTS AND SUMMARY ================================================================================ 1. BASELINE MODELS PERFORMANCE: - Naive model performs poorly (constant forecast) - Seasonal Naive (24h) captures daily patterns effectively - Moving averages smooth out noise but may lag behind trends - Shorter MA windows (6h) respond faster but are noisier - Longer MA windows (144h) are smoother but slower to adapt 2. EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING PERFORMANCE: - SES performs similarly to Naive (no trend/seasonality) - Holt's method captures trend but misses seasonality - Holt-Winters models capture both trend and seasonality - Additive vs Multiplicative: similar performance for temperature 3. BEST MODEL: MA (window=6) - Achieves lowest RMSE: 1.9221°C - MAE: 1.3592°C (average error magnitude) - MAPE: 166.2394% (percentage error) - R²: 0.8011 (variance explained) 4. RESIDUAL ANALYSIS: - Residuals should be randomly distributed around zero - Patterns in residuals indicate model limitations - Q-Q plot shows if residuals are normally distributed 5. RECOMMENDATIONS: - Seasonal models outperform non-seasonal models - Daily seasonality (24h) is crucial for temperature forecasting - More sophisticated models (SARIMA, LSTM) may improve performance - Consider ensemble methods combining multiple models ================================================================================ PART B: BASELINE MODELS & SMOOTHING COMPLETE ✓ ================================================================================
Part C — Stationary Models¶
Objective: Implement and evaluate stationary time series models (AR, MA, ARMA).
Tasks:
- Test for stationarity (ADF) and apply differencing where necessary
- Fit AR, MA, ARMA models (use AIC/BIC for order selection)
- Show residual diagnostics (white noise, Ljung-Box test)
- Forecast and compare with baselines
- Provide interpretation of model coefficients and limitations
Cell 3.1: Stationarity Testing and Differencing¶
Tasks:
- Test original series for stationarity using ADF test
- Apply first-order differencing
- Apply seasonal differencing (24-hour lag)
- Test differenced series for stationarity
- Visualize original and differenced series
